Huxley Family 




INTRODUCXION. 



AOST families in the United States- who trace tlicir ances- 
try to New England, l(X>kd:)ack stUl fnrther through 
Xew England to Old England for their origin. This is the 
case with the Ihixley family. With these families, if the immi- 
grant ancestor can he found at all. he is found to have come., 
from England, when the colonies were heing settled, and so- 
his descendants are of early English ancestry. No known 
public records, and no private records in the Huxley family in 
the United States exist to show absolutely by an unbroken line, 
its origin or nativity, but the tradition in the family has been 
that the ancestor came from England. This tradition did not, 
how^ever. or at least does not now furnish the answ^ers to the 
more particular (|ueries which press urgently for answers, 
such as: Who was he who came? When did he come? 
Where did he come from out of the liroad expanse of all Eng- 
land, and where was the place of his actix'ities there? Was he 
of London or Eixerpool. or of what place was he? At what 
place did he land and where did he locate? What was his 
calling, business or status there, and what did he become here? 
and a hundred other cognate questions seek answers about each 
person whose name may be suggested as an immigrant ancestor 
of any family whatever. Only here and there can persons be 
found about whom these questions can be answered two hun- 
dred or three hundred years after death. With the vast 
majority no more extended history of them exists than that 
they were born and died and with a goodly per cent, not even 
this can 1)e found. W^hat they did to make up the sum of life 
no person has cared to ]:)reserve by monument or record against 
the ever destroying tooth of time and final oblivion. 

The traditional English ancestor of the Huxleys in the 



Tin-: IIUXLEV FAMILY. 



United States is one of those in default of any known records 
accessible to the compiler to save his memory from the fate of 
havint;- been lost, and so his existence totally forgotten and 
unknown by all li\ini^- human beings. One or two slight "cues" 
exist, but they are too vague and uncertain to be relied on. 

The Huxley family, so far as known, has always been few 
in numl)ers, both in England and the United States. Quite a 
large per cent, of its members in the United States have at- 
tained to 80 or 90 years, but fecundity did not seem to inhere 
in the family, and so perhaps the number of persons in the 
family is not greater now than two hundred years ago. It 
began at Hartford, Connecticut, in 1667, or perhaps more 
strictly in 1660 at New Haven, Connecticut, and the stream 
of its life flowed northward into Massachusetts at Hampshire 
county, and thence to the w^estward along the northern part of 
the state of Connecticut to its w^est boundary and again turned 
northward into Massachusetts, at Berkshire county, and most 
likely also into Nev/ York state, since some of them are known 
to be there ; a part turned back to the eastward in Massachu- 
setts, and a part went on westward into Ohio, and thence to 
Michigan, Indiana, Kansas, Iowa, \\'isconsin and perhaps 
other states. 

None remain in Connecticut ; none in western Massa- 
chusetts ; but few in New York and Ohio and eastern 
Massachusetts. They generally owned land and were farmers 
or engaged in occupations connected with the land. A few 
Ijecame lawyers, doctors, school professors, or engaged in some 
mercantile or mechanical business, but as far as known only 
one l)ecame a clergyman. However, some did in England. 
Nearly all of proper age at the time were in revolutionary war 
service, w'hich, from our point of \-iew as United States 
citizens, was highly commendable. Some also were in military 
ser\'ice during the civil war as will hereafter appear. 

'I he family in England was sutficientl}- ancient in point of 
time, but the slender accounts to be obtained from correspon- 
dence lack that definiteness and coherence which are necessary 
to a pro|)er knowledge of the family. 

The "Manor of Huxley" hereafter mentioned, with the 
residence tliereon called "Huxlev Hall" was. and still is, situ-

ated in Broxton Hundred in the county of Cheshire, in the 
northwest of England, and is in the parish of Hargrave, about 
8 miles southeast of Chester, the principal city of Cheshire, and 
so would be about 24 miles southeast of Liverpool, and is fur- 
ther located as being about 1^ miles from Tattenhall station 
on the London & Northwestern Railway. An ordnance map 
shows a road called Huxley leading eastward toward Tilston 
(5 miles) which road passes a place called Huxley Gorse, 2 
miles from Huxley. A part of the solid stone walls of the old 
Manor-House still stand and are incorporated into the structure 
of a modern farm house, but no Huxley now lives there. 

The original boundaries of the manor were straesfline 
and the description vague and uncertain, giving l)ut little idea 
of its real extent and contents, but at present the area is said to 
be about 1,500 acres and contains a population of 260. 
The Benedictine Abbey or Monastery of St. Werburgh 
founded by Hugh Lupus. Earl of Chester, in 1070, was at 
Chester, and it received title to these lands with much other 
lands in the \-icinity of Chester, from William the Conqueror 
between 1066 and 1093. The king's ability to make this be- 
stowal was by the seizure of lands from former owners who 
were considered to be his enemies or who would not attorn to 
him. but whether these lands before that time were- called the 
"Manor of Huxley" and ow'ned by such a family is not known. 
Huxley is not named in Domesday Book, but is said to be com- 
prised under the name of "Hodesleia" (whatever that may be) 
contained in the foundation charter of the Benedictine Abbey 
of St. W'erburgh, but omitted in the enumeration of those es- 
tates in Domesday Book. 

All present titles to land in England start from Domesday 
Book of William the Conqueror, in 1066, and the new family 
and owner soon came to bear the name of his land. Thus 
"Richard de Huxley" simply meant Richard of Huxley (land). 
In the 31st year of Edward HL 1333. a writ in quo warranto 
was issued under authority of the crown against the Abbot of 
St. Werburgh to show by what authority he exercised fran- 
chises within various manors of which "Huxlegh"' w'as one, 
showing the approach toward the present spelling of the name. 



6 THE HUXLEY EAMILY. 

Tlie gTowtli in spellin"" the name has been from the Latin 
Hodesleia to the English Hodeslegh — Hnxlegh — Huxley. 

Most all of the small towns or villages mentioned in the 
descent of title to the Manor of Huxley given in the succeeding 
pages, such as Aldersey. Brindley. Clotton, Duddon, Darnhall, 
Ecclesfield, Macclesfield. Tattenhall. Wettenhall. Waverton, 
Upton, etc.. are in Cheshire and from 5 to 15 miles southeast 
of Chester. These i^laces and the Huxley family are described 
by Ormerod in liis liistory of Chester and Cheshire, published 
al)ont i8jo. as also in a more recent edition of the same work 
by Thomas Helsby in 1882. l)oth out of jirint and difficult to 
obtain. Ho\\e\-er. the compiler has been able recently to obtain 
a copy of the Helsby edition of this work, consisting of three 
ponderous tomes of about i.ooo pages each, and it clearly shows 
historically that the family had a location there for the past 
eight hundred years or more, and this is something not known 
outside of luigland and the TJnited States. In Helsby's His- 
tory of Cheshire in xolume 2, at page 797, et seq., the Huxley 
family and their land holdings in the county are descriljed. and 
the genealogical descent of title to the land gi\'en in some of 
the succeeding pages herein was mainly taken from that work. 
A full copy of the Charter of St. W'erburgh Abbey above 
referred to in the original Latin and bearing date of 1093, is 
also contained in this History. 

It will be remembered that by the laws of primogeniture 
in England the title to land was cast u])on the eldest son, so 
that at each descent the younger sons were dn )pi)ed out. unless 
in some way they received title from the elder son. or from 
some other source, and so far as the land title was concerned 
they were not again heard of. They went into the professions 
or army or other business not relating to the land, so that their 
relationship to the family would not ])e found with the land 
titles. Imt must be sought elsewhere, h^-om this source parts 
of the family drifted southward to Lichfield and New Castle- 
on-Tvne in Staffordshire, and Coventry in Warwickshire, 
Essex, Devonshire, and perha])s other ])laces, and thence to 
London. A few A-ears ago a ( "harles Huxley and a John 
Ihixley were at the Potteries, near Xew Castle in Stafford- 
shire; the well known Thcjmas 11. Huxley, born at Ealing, 



INTRODUCTION. 7 

near London, in 1825, lived and died at London, and no 
person's writings are better known than his on both sides of 
tlie Atlantic; his son, Prof. Leonard Huxley, is now connected 
with the endowed school at Godalming-, in the county of 
Surrey, 32 miles southwest of London. Within the past vear 
he had published a life of his father consisting- of two laro-e 

o o 

volumes which is meeting with a liberal sale in the United 
States. It gives an excellent insight into the inner life, labors 
and successes of a man who was. in the best sense of the term, 
one of nature's real noblemen. 

In a catalogue of the Judges of Chester, collected out of 
the old deeds and charters, and (jut of the recognizances in the 
Kxche(iuer is found the following: 

"Idem Reginaldus, 55 and 56 Hen. 3. Robertus de 
Huxley, ejus locum tenens, anno. 1271." 
Among the Sheriffs of Chester the following appears: 
"SuH Henrico Tertio 

1266 Robert de Huxley, 50 Hen. 3." 1279. 
Sub Edwardo Prtmo 

1272. Robert de Huxley, tempore Gozelini de 
I'aldesmere lib B p. 31 m., about 4 Edward." 
In a different list of Sheriffs the following may be found: 
1350 and 1 35 I. William de Huxley. 
[842. Thomas Huxle)-. 
In a list of Gentry in the County Palatine of Chester 
appears :

Howexer, these are fragmentary items, and with the 
Genealogical Descent given in the succeeding pages, which 
was taken in large degree from the History of Cheshire, are 
only given to show the strong probability that the Huxley 
family in the United States, had its origin in England — no 
other source being known. 

But how this occurred, with the when and the where, the 
compiler has not been able, with the time and facilities at his

how it all occurred.

THE SPENCER FAMILY. 



Since it will appear in the Descent ])roper hereafter given 
that the Spencer family fnrnished the earliest maternal ances- 
tor, it is thonght best to show, as far as may he done, who the 
Spencers were at the time of, and before the colonial settle- 
ment of Massachusetts and Connecticut. The tirst we know of 
Francis Spencer and his wife Elizabeth is, that, for many 
years prior to 1636. when he died, they were rich .Vie Brewers 
in London — n(^t in the most reputable part — and she continued 
the business a few years thereafter. By wills they left large 
properties to their four sons, Richard, John, Thomas and 
Jarrard. The ancestor was a citizen and ale brewer, and 
thereby made the money, and he was also a member of the 
Church of England at St. Giles Parish, outside Cripplegate, 
Eondon, all of which appears by the record. These facts 
transferred the sons to the Gentlemen class. The grandsons, at 
lea.st those who descended from Jarrard, had property, and 
they all received bequests from their uncle Richard wdio died in 
London in 1646 and after they came to the colonies. They too 
were members of the Church of England, which was at that 
time the touchstone, the be-all and end-all of what was good, 
right and just. The dissenters and non-conformists in Eng- 
land were hated and des])ised, \ililied. ostracised, ])ersecuted 
anathematized. con\icted as guilt\' of crime and exiled or l)an- 
ished from TCngland. The puritans with nearly the same ideas 
as the dissenters, but who did not lca:'c I he church, and who 
were the ruling power in Massachusetts did likewise with those 
who (lid not precisely conform with their \-iews ! So when the 
Spencers arrived at Boston in the vears following 1630, 
Michael, Garrard, with its numerous spellings, Thomas and 
\\ illiani. all. cil once, could and did become freemen, and took 
high and honorable rank amou"- the coU^iists. Thev were 
thus (|ualilied to hold office, and were at once called on to be 
officers and their standing and rank among the colonists were 
assured. They came certified by the church officials there, and 



THR SPENCER FAMILY. IQ 

that settled all doubt and controversy here. They were the 
peers of any colonist whoever he might l)e. The ale l)rewer's 
descendant was "On the throne, his satraps in the hall." The 
blood of the wicked and much hated and despised non- 
conformist with the views of the puritans was relegated to the 
rear. Thus trul}- the whirligig of time has its re\'enges. 

All ol the wills of the Spencers mentioned below were 

published a few years ago in volume of the New England 

Historical and Genealogical Register, at Boston. Elizabeth 
Spencer, the widow of Francis. ])r()\ided in her will for her 
burial by the side of her husband in the church yard of St. Giles 
Parish, Cripplegate. London, which was accordingly done 
prior to 1646. Below follows a tabulated sketch of the Spen- 
cers, which shows how the maternal ancestor of the Huxleys 
was descended, and was taken largely from a Genealogy of the 
Spencer famil_\- published b\' one of its members not many 
years ago. 

Francis Spencer — wife, Elizabeth — of St. Giles Parish without Cripple- 
gate, London, citizen and brewer, born about 1575, and 
w^hose will was proved October 24. 1636, had 4 sons and i 
daughter. V 

1. Richard, gentleman of London, whose will was dated May 29, 1646, and 

proved June 8. 1646. in which he makes bequests "to Jar- 
rard Spencer, Thomas Spencer. William Spencer and 
Michael Spencer, sons of my brother Jarrard Spencer, de- 
ceased," etc. 

2. John, died before May, 1646. 

3. Thomas, died before May, 1646. 

4. J.\RR.ARD. died before May. 1646. but had 4 sons and 1 daughter, to-wit : 

1. Michael, who was a resident of Cambridge. Mass.. in 1635. Removed 

to Lynn, ]\Iass., before 1639 and died before November, 
1653, left 2 children. 

In 1648. he drew a draft dated at New England, upon 
the executor of his Uncle Richard's will for his share of 
the bequest which draft is recorded with the will. This 
shows clearly where Michael was at the time, and what his 
relationship was to the testator and to his estate. 

2. Garrard— was a resident of Cambridge, Mass., in 1634. Took free- 
or Gerard man's oath March 9, 1636-7. Resident of Lynn from 
Garret 1638 to 1659. Chosen Ensign of the Train Band in June. 
Gerret 1656. Removed to Haddam. Conn., about 1660 and died 
Jarrard between December 17, 1683, and September 3, 1685. Left 
Jarret several children. 

Jared, 

variously spelled.

3. Thomas. He resided in Caml)ridge, Mass., in 1633, as stated in Paige's 
History of Canil)ridge at page 659, and in 1635 was re- 
corded as the owner of several small parcels of land in 
Newtowne (now Cambridge) at the time of that record. 
In the History of Suffield in the colony and Province 
of the Massachusetts Bay. at page 40, it is stated that he 
came from Braintree in Essex county, England, with 
Reverend Thomas Hooker's company in 1632, and went 
with him to Hartford. In Trumbull's History of Connec- 
ticutt it appears that Hooker was silenced in Essex county 
as a non-conformist preacher and fled to Holland in 1630 
to avoid arrest and prosecution ; that in 1632 a large body 
of his partitioners came from Braintree, England, to Cam- 
bridge, and in 1633 he himself came in the ship Griffin, 
arriving September 4, witli 200 more of his people, a few 
of whom are named, but Thomas Spencer is not named. 
But he was there, nevertheless, from about that time for- 
ward. On May 14, 1634, he took the freeman's oath. In 
1636, he moved to Hartford, and in 1637 was in the Pequot 
Indian war, and for his services therein the General Court 
of Connecticut, in May, 1671, granted him 60 acres of 
land. In 1639, he is recorded as the owner of several small 
parcels of land in Hartford. In April, 1639, he was one 
of the deputies to the first General Assembly or Court 
in Hartford, etc. In March, 1649-50, he was appointed by 
the Particular Court as a sergeant of militia. In 1657, 
Constable, and 1672 surveyor of Highways. He was 
twice married, but of his first wife nothing is known, but 
there were 3 children : i Obadiah. 2 Thomas, married 
Esther Andrews, removed to Suffield, Mass., died July 23, 
1689. 3 Samuel. His second wife, whom he married Sep- 
tember II, 1645, was Sarah Bearding, a daughter of 
Nathaniel Bearding of Hartford, whose will dated Janu- 
ary 7. 1(173, mentions "his son-in-law Thomas Spencer, 
and his 5 daughters" naming them. There were 6 chil- 
dren : I Garrard, born 1646; 2 Sarah, born 1647. She 
married 'riioiinis Huxley in 1667, and with him removed 
to Suffield, Mass. 3 Elizabeth, born 1648; 4 Hannah, 
burn 1651; 5 Mary, born 1655: 6 Martha, born 1657. 
Thomas Spencer died at Hartford September 11, 1687. 
His will recorded in Hartford Probate Records in volume 
4, pp. 262-263. proven October 26, 1687, reads as follows: 
"The last will and Testament of Sargt. Tho. Spencer, to- 
gether with an Inventory of his estate was exhibited In

the military company of Newtowne. He removed to Hart- 
ford in 1639 and "At a Generall Meeting of the whole 
Townsman Towne the 23rd December, 1639, Their was then chosen 
or to order the offayrs of the Towne for one yeare, William

Moody." 

Hartford Town votes vol. i, p. 13. 

His will was dated May 4, 1640, and probated March 
4. 1641. 

In the Spencer family Genealogy it is stated it is 
thought William was the deputy to the ^rst General As- 
sembly under the first constitution of Hartford, but the 
dates hardly admit of his presence there at Hartford so 
early in the year and Trumbull in his history of Connecti- 
cut states that Thoiitas was the deputy, which is far more 
likely to be correct, since Thomas was a resident of Hart- 
ford from J636 and William did not arrive at Hartford 
till after the first session of this court. 




■ FIRST GENERATION. 

I. Thomas Huxley. He died July 21, 1721. at Siif- 
Held. Mass. While first stated, it was not his first act. Of his 
origin and youth the compiler has not found anything- which 
can be relied on to show this. He appeared at the wedding at 
the residence of Thomas Spencer in Hartford, Conn., in May, 
1667, and married Sarah Spencer, but from whence he came 
to the colony or how old he was remains a sealed book. 
Judging from his death, he was then between 20 and 30 years 
of age, and may have l)een born in the colonies about 1640-5, 
or he may have been the immigrant ancestor who arrived quite 
young. His name api)ears in Savage's Genealogical Diction- 
ary in \-olume 2 at i)age 514, as one of the original settlers of 
the Hartford colony, and the names of his wife and children 
are correctly given, but no intimation is given from whence 
he came or who his ancestors were. There was a bequest of a 
gim to him in the will of John Wakeman, at that time treas- 
urer of Xew Haven, probated in Hartford, in 1661, which was 
written in Xew Haven in 1660, and which indicates that he 
was in Xew Haven in 1660, and in the eniploy of John Wake- 
man, and in that year he took the oath of Fidelity in Xew 
lla\-en. John Wakeman removed from Xew Ha\en to Hart- 
ford in 1 66 1, and died there. Since it appears that Thomas 
was in his employ at that time and not married, it is highly 
l)robable he also went with Wakeman to Hartford, jjut how he 
came to be in Xew Haven in 1660 and before, is the "Stone 
w.aH" up against which the compiler has landed in this search, 
without the means of passing over. 

The slight "cue" referred to on a fonner page, consists 
of two items each obtained from two different sources. First 
it appears from the records of Sufiield that one James Barlow- 
was in Suffield in 1680 and on the loth day of January, 1688, 
he married Sarah Huxley, and Savage in his Genealogical 
Dictionary in volume i in stating this fact says "She was a 
daughter of Thomas Huxley of Suffield; that a son James 



24 Till-: ll^xLl•:^■ i-amilv. 

was born January 7. 1689. and that Barlow died March 16. 
1690." That she was a danohter of Thomas Hnxley is not 
credible, for he had a dani^hter Sarah who is well accounted 
for as hereafter appears and who could not be the same as this 
Sarah, who then may have been a sister of Thomas. If so, who 
was their father and where was he? Secondly, in Emery's 
History of the Ministry of Taunton, Mass., which is fifty or 
sixtv miles (hrectly east of Hartford, Conn., in a list of forty- 
tive names of the first distribution of lands to settlers in 
Taunton in 1638, given on page T^y this entry appears: 

"i Henry Uxley, 8 acres." 

A few years later he sold this land, Imt it does not appear 
where he went or who his family was if he had any. 

Bailies in his History of New Plymouth, at page 288, 
under the subject Taunton, says : "At the head of the list of 
purchasers stands the name of Henry Uxley without the re- 
spectable prefix of Mr. None now can tell who he was, 
whence he came, or whither he went. His name is extinct ; 
not a vestige remains, not a memorial exists to tell us what kind 
of a man he was. or at what period he sought the Indian Co- 
hannet. His house and lot were sold to Richard Williams, 
and about him (meaning Williams) much is known, for he 
ma}' in some measure be considered the father, if not the 
founder of Taunton." Bailies then gives the same list of pur- 
chasers as hjiiery, and begins it "i Henry Uxley, 8 acres," etc., 
and on ])age 289 he says "It is also probable Henry Uxley, 
kichard Williams (and 6 others whom he names) were in 
Taunlon pre\ious to this ])eriod for most of these antient pur- 
chasers came immediateh' from Dorchester." 

If he had a house, it is highly probable he had a family, 
and "Uxley may have been the cockney English for Huxley, 
written in the records by the officer according to his own 
sweet will, for nothing then seemed to control anyone in his 
spelling, but no known recor<l tells that Thomas and Sarah 
were his children though some suspicions are aroused. 

Beyond this the whole matter rests in s])eculation without 
knowledge. 

vSarah .Spencer was boi"ii in 1647, nnd was a daughter of 
Sergeant Thomas Spencer and Sarah ( B.earding) Spencer, 



FIRST GENERATION. 25 

who was one of the orighial settlers in Hartford in 1636, and 
in April, 1639, he was one of the deputies to the first General 
Assemhly. or Court lield under the first free written constitu- 
tion for the Hartford colonies adopted in January, 1639. This 
constitution divorced the church and state and contained the 
essential germ of all political liherty since found in the United 
States, in all written constitutions from that day to the present 
time, all of which clearly appears in Trumbull's History of 
Early Connecticut. 

Upon the land records of Hartford in Book of Distribu- 
tions, page 352, appears the first title of lands that any Huxley 
held in the United States, and is the 48th one in the colony of 
Connecticut and is as follows : "Land in Hartford upon River 
Connecticut belonging to Thomas Huxley and his heirs for- 
ever. One parcell which he received of Obadiah Spencer lying- 
in the neck of land, containing by estimation four acres and 
halfe (be it more or less) and abutts on the common fence on 
the west, and on the swamp belonging to the north meadow on 
the east, and on Obediah Spencer's land on the north, and John 
Pantry's land on the south. Acknowledged by me, August 29, 
1 67 1." 

"Witness, John Allen, Recorder. Obediah Spencer. 

John Pantry." 

"More one parcell of land which he bought of John 
Pantry, with the consent of Capt. John Tallcott lying in the 
neck of land containing bv estimation two acres of land, be it 
more or less ; and abutts on the common fence on the west, and 
on the swam[) belonging to the north meadow east, on John 
Pantry's land on the south, and Thomas Huxley's land on the 
north. Acknowledg-ed the 29th of August, 1671. 

"Witness hereto. Per me, John Tallcott, 

John Allen, Recorder. John Pantry." 

Thomas Leffingwell." 

On October 30, 1674, he sold this land to George Knight, 
and in company with his wife's half brother Thomas 
Spencer, removed his family to Sutfield, Mass., where his wife 
died October 24, 17 12. On the Distribution Book in Suffield 
it a])pears that by the award of the Selectmen in 1678 he re- 



()

ceived the title to 60 acres of land on the easts line of High 
street, and he afterwards ac(|uired title to other lands. On Octo- 
her 13. 1669. he was made a freeman of Hartford colony as 
apjjears from the Collected Records of Conn., from 1665 t 
1667 at ])ag-e 518 and again on Oct. 12, 1681. he was made a 
freeman h}- the General Court at Boston, as appears from Col. 
Rec. of Mass., vol. 5, at pages 320-1, and owing to the impor- 
tance and peculiarity of this regulation, and that Thomas was 
the only Huxle)- who attained to this distinction it is thought 
pro])er to make fuller statement of its significance. 

l-^\ery one was then a suhject of Great Britain and did not 
need to he naturalized in the sense as now understood, yet he- 
fore he was permitted to exercise the right of suffrage, or hold 
any office, hv the laws of the colonv. he luust he made a free- 
man, which prior to 1664 required him to prove hy the certifi- 
cate of the pastor of his church that he was a respectahle mem- 
her of the Congregatit>nal church, and after that date hy a like 
certificate that he was correct in doctrine and conduct, hut not 
necessarily a memher. It is worthy of remark that out of the 
more than 22.000 immigrants from 1630 to 1691, not more 
than 2,000 e\er hecame Freemen, so that wdiile it has often 
heen said the whole hody of freemen in the [beginning, met to 
make the laws and decide the policy of the colon}', yet it is plain 
t(^ see that the i)olitical power was in fact exercised hy a small 
hody of the real inhahitants. scarcely sufficient to make up the 
hody of officers. The whole hody of freemen and the whole 
hody of the people were hy no manner of means identical. The 
certificate was "The names of those men which desiar to tak 
ther freedom of this Comon \\'ealth, and are householders and 
memhers of ye church, are Thos. Spencer, Thos. Huxley.'' 

Daniel ffisher, 

Pastor." 

The oath administered to Thomas on Oct. 12, 1681, was 
as follows: "I, Thomas 1 [nxlc\-, hcing ])\' God's ])rovi(lence an 
Inhabitant and Freeman within the Jurisdiction of this Com- 
monwealth; do freely acknowledge myself to l)e subject to the 
(ioxernment thereof: And, therefore, do here swear by the 
great and dreadful name of the Fver living (jod. that I will be

true and faithfii\ to the same, and will accordingiy yield assis- 
tance and support thereunto, with my person and estate, as in 
ecpiity 1 am hound; and will also trul}- endeavor to maintain 
and preserve all the liherties and ])ri\ileg-es thereof, submitting 
myself to the wholesome Laws and Orders made and estab- 
lished by the same. And further that I will not plot or practice 
any evil against it, or consent to any that shall so do; but will 
timely discover and reveal the same to lawful! Authority now 
here established, and for the speedy prevention thereof. 

Ah)reover, I doe solemnly l)ind myself in the sight of God, 
that when I shall be called to gixe niv \-ovce touching any such 
matter of this state, in which Freemen are to deal, I will give 
my vote and suffrag-e as I shall judge in mine own conscience 
may best conduce and tend to the publike weal of the body, so 
help me (iiod in the Lord Jesus Christ." 

After taking this most formidable and iron clad oath, the 
record shows he was chosen a sergeant of militia at Hartford, 
and ])y a vote of the town of Suffield, Mass.V"in 1686, he was 
chosen a keeper of a "Public House of Entertainment" which 
was situated on Fliyh street. The records and Historv of Suf- 
field further show that he was one of thirty-four legal voters 
in all town affairs, as recorded by Major Pynchon at the first 
town meeting held on March g, i68j, and at the election on 
March 6. 1683. he was elected to the office of Selectman which 
he held, except in occasional years, till 1706. This was the 
highest and most important office in the town, and during all

Massachusetts and Connecticut, the town of Suffield fell upon 
the south side of the line and became a part of Hartford 
county, Connecticut, and sul)ject to its political jurisdiction. 
where it still remains and will be spoken of in this work as in 
Connecticut after 1749. In the History of Suffield at page 95 
it is said "The history of the negotiations for the settlement of 
the colony line and the quarrels between the towns for many 
years often resulting in blows, would fill a volume." Jared

1 7 13 to 1723 held the nfinor offices of constable and surveyor 
of highways, and in 1720 he was a Tythingman. This office 
was at that time deemed very important and responsible. The 
incumbent of this office was much reverenced by the law abid- 
ing and much feared by the transgressor. The duties were 
"To inspect all licensed houses of entertainment and to inform 
of all disorders or misdemeanors committed in them, to present 
and inform of all idle and disorderly persons, profane swear- 
ers, or cursers, Sab1)ath l)reakers and the like offenders." The

Conn., about 17/8. She was the second daughter of 

John Trumbull the second and ]\Iartha (Taylor) Trumbull, 
who was the eldest son of Judah Truml)ull of Suffield. Judah

him "Brother Jonathan." The term has since passed into pop- 
ular use as equivalent to the people of the United States. 

The Governor had two sons, ist Colonel John Trumhull, 
Assistant Adjutant General in the Revolutionary War. and a 
distinguished painter, his portraits of Washington, Adams and 
Jefferson, and the historical paintings of '"The Battle of Bunker

Another brother of Joseph Trumbull of Lebanon was 
Benoni of Hebron ( the father being Joseph of Suffield, and

of Hon. Lyman Trumbull, United States senator from Illinois 
during the Civil War, and afterwards a most distinguished 

advocate and jurist. 2nd Jared married Stanard ; in 

the record she is called W^idow Stanard, in 1780. No children 
by this marriage, and letters yet in existence show the marriage 
to have been very unfortunate and the cause of much trouble. 
He was a farmer in Suffield and owned several small pieces of 
land, which he sold February 9, 1753, and removed with his 
family to Canaan, Conn. He was an extensive buyer of lands 
in Canaan, and his land transactions also extended into

August ly, 1764, at Suffiekl, Conn. On August 25, 1785, he 
deeded 28 acres of land which he inherited from his father, to 
his brother-in-law Eli Warner and removed to (then) Ontario 
County, N. Y., where he bought land. He married there but 
the compiler has not been able to learn whom. However, he

Tj. Thoma.s, born about 1790. He had a son Thomas, born about 1816, 
and he a son. Dr. Charles C, of Palmyra, New York, 
born about 1842, and died after 1878. The compiler has 
not l)een able to learn much of this descent. Dr. Charles 
C. said in a letter in 1878 he had no records — nothing but 
tradition.

1 87 1, being 90 years 4 months and i day old. He married first 
Electa (Callender) Whiting, March — , 1807. She was born 
September 30, 1777, in Sheffield, Mass., and died June 5, 1847, 
at Ellsworth, Ohio. She was the second daughter of Reuben 
and Abigail Callender of Sheffield, Mass., (her older sister's 
name being Annis) and at the time of her marriage, the widow 
of Roger Whiting who was born Dec. 23, 1778, and died May 
13, 1804. The Callender family was of Scotch origin, coming 
from the town of Callender in Perthshire in Central Scotland, 
about 1 700, or perhaps earlier. Reuben was a land owner and 
a farmer by occupation in Sheffield; the recorded "Ear-mark 
for his creatures is a half cross, the under side of the right 
ear and a half penny cut on the upper side of the left ear. 
Entered April i, 1777." 

He and four of his five brothers, Joseph, Amos, Nathaniel 
and Ezekel, all had Revolutionary War Service records. For 
Reuben's Services see Military Services of Huxleys and mater- 
nal ancestors of Huxleys. 

Second Jared married Harriet Minard Sept. 30, 1850. 
She w-as born January 13, 1804. tlied February 20, 1871. No 
children by this marriage. 

Berkshire County, Mass., is world renowned for the wild 
and picturesque beauty of its natural scenery and in modem 
days is an attractive resort for tourists. Such places as Monu- 
ment Mountain, Icy Glen, The Stockbridge Bowl, and October 
Mountain are found there. The far famed Tipping Rock is 
near the Huxley seat. This rock is of enormous weight and 
rests on two pivotal points, but is so perfectly balanced that a 
man with his hand can easily set it a rocking. He was a land 
owner in Berkshire County, but sold it and invested the pro- 
ceeds in land in the Connecticut Western Reserve and received 
a deed from Thomas Huntington and his wife of Canaan, 
Conn., dated February 8, 18 14, for 418 acres in section 2 in 
Ellsworth, Ohio. He at once set about preparing to move to 
Ohio, and during the summer completed his preparations and 
started Monday, Sept. 19, 18 14, in company with his brother 
Daniel [104] and their families. They made the journey with 
ox teams, following the "Old Indian Trail" through the state of 
JSIew York and northern Pennsylvania. x\bout 1800 and for a

time thereafter tlie route traveled was across New Jersey and by 
way of Reading- and Harrisburgh, Pa., to Pittsburg'h, and 
thence to the mouth of the Beaver river, and np the Beaver and 
Mahoning to Yonngstown and Warren. Later the northern 
route was used by Massachusetts and Connecticut -emigrants, 
but tlie larger part of the route lay through a dense forest of 
hea\ y tiinljer with only l)lazed trees to indicate the way. 

His deed was recorded November 14, 18 14, indicating 
that he did not reach Ohio till late in the fall. A settlement of 
a dozen or more families had been made at the center of Ells- 
worth, but none except Philo Spaulding in the southern part 
where section 2 was. The family remained at the center 
through the winter, and the following spring the work -of 
clearing the farm of timber and making a home l^egan in dead 
earnest, and the rugged life of the pioneer, with all of its pri- 
\ations and toil and danger, was met and lived through with 
the same indomitable courage that enabled the men of his class 
and day to subdue the Western Reserve and make it the dwell- 
ing place of the freemen who then inhabited and ever since 
have inhabited it. 

In due course of years the farm was cleared of timber, a 
comfortable brick house and other suitable structures built, and 
the latter years of his life were spent on the farm in a quiet, un- 
assuming way. At first the customary log house was built in 
a few days after going upon the land and used for a few years. 
The brick house was 1)uilt in about 1825, consisting of 8 rooms 
and is still in use nearly in its orig'inal form, and in a fairly 
good state of preservation. The great open fireplace for a wood 
fire, so common at that time, has long since fallen into disuse; 
but when used was capable of taking iii wood four feet long, 
and with the great backlog, and a large forestick resting on 
huge andirons, indeed made a roaring fire ior a cold winter 
day. Hie iron crane hung securely upon the right jamb of the 
fireplace, and su])plied with several iron hooks of different 
lengths was the means of using the fire for cooking. An ad- 
justable hook consisting of two parts, forming a curious kind 
of combination between a swivel and a toggle, furnished fur- 
ther means of adjusting the kettle to the fire. The barns have 
been niox'ed :nid remodeled ;ui(l much impro\'ed. The title to

his land has wholly passed out of the family and no Huxleys 
remain in Ellsworth township where the settlement was first 
made in Ohio in 1814. 

He was genial and affable, and singularly free from guile 

•of any kind, and was not suspicious of the purposes of others. 

He was especially beloved by his grandchildren, as w'ell as by 

the children of the neighborhood, who always felt free and 

happy at grandpa Huxley's where they were always welcome. 

Physically he was a man of large frame, strongly and 
compactly built, inclining to corpulency in later years, and to a 
large degree free from the infirmities and \\'^eaknesses usually 
incident to old age. He was able, and did continue to work on 
his farm, not from necessity, but from choice, to near the close 
of life. It is related of him that on his 83rd birthday, as a trial 
to see how well he retained his physical vigor, he mowed with 
a scythe one acre of good meadow grass in one-half day with- 
out serious fatigue. This was as much as a full hand with a 
scythe, before the days of mowing" machines, was expected 
to do. 

He never sought public i)refemient, but rather loved the 
"■quiet middle way" with the simplicities of his rural home, 
and the society of the neighbors among whom he lived well 
respected by all who knew him. 

His children, all by his first wife, were, 

97. Socrates Loveland [145] born June 20, 1809. 

98. Joel, born April 1810; died Dec. 1810. 

99. Roger Whiting, born May 1812 at New Marlborough, Mass, died 

April 26. i88[. at Ellswortli. Ohio, a bachelor. He was a 
farmer.

and was the fourth daughter of Reuben and Martha (Emmons) 
Callender, of Sheftield, Berkshire County, Mass., and a half 
sister of Electa, wife of Jared Huxley [96]. In the vital

8, 1829. She married Samuel Johnson, a railroad engineer, 
and they reside at Cleveland, Ohio. Loraine died April 21, 
1844. Daniel was a farmer by occupation and the owner of 
200 acres of land in Ellsworth upon which they lived, and 
which descended to his children in equal shares at his death. 
None of his descendants now live on the land. 

He came to Ohio from Massachusetts in 18 14 as stated in 
No. (96) and the land was bought with the proceeds of land 
sold in Massachusetts before starting for Ohio. ^^

SIXTH GENERATION. 

115. Milton^ [90] (Asahels. Jared-*, Jared^, Jared^, 
Thomas') born July 29. 1794, at New Marlborough, Berk- 
shire County, Mass. He married Harriet Hickox of Williams- 
town, Mass., May 18, 1825. She was born February 16, 1803, 
and died at Neenah, Wis., April 21, 1886. 

He was a graduate of Williams College and a clergyman 
by profession in the Congregational church. He preached at 
Stafford, Genesee County, New York, from 1825 to 1835, and 
at Torrington, Conn., from 1835 to 1841. The History of 
Torrington says : "The Rev. Milton Huxley was stated 
supply, or preached without being regularly installed for a 
term of years after Rev. Gould. He is well spoken of in the 
church society. His wife Harriet was received into the church 
by letter in 1835." In 1830 he became the owner of 103 acres 
of land in Batavia, and in 1841, of 50 acres in Bethany, Gene- 
see County, New York, which he bought from his brother Al- 
bert, and to which he moved in 1841, and engaged in farming. 
In 1846 he disposed of his land and removed with his family to 
Neenah, Winnebago County, Wis., where he bought 80 acres 
of government land and continued the occupation of farming 
till his death which occurred Oct. 9, 1861. The children were, 

116. Mary Eliza, born at Stafford. New York. Dec. 30, 1828. She died in 

1866, and left 3 children. 

117. Henry Edwards [193] born March 22,. 1832. 

118. Harriet Newell, born at Torrington. Conn., April 5, 1836. She 

married and removed to Michigan, where she now lives. 
She has a large family. 

119. Albert^ [94] (Asahel^, Jared^, Jared^, Jared', 
Thomas') born Dec. 24, 1802, at New Marlborough, Mass. 
Married Clarissa Hickox of Williamstown, January 24, 1826. 
He was a land owner and a farmer, but removed from New 
Marlborough about 1865 to Clayton, Winnebago County, Wis- 
consin, where he bought a farm and continued his former 
business as a farmer. He died there August 20, 1881, and on

that date the fohowing appeared in the Alilw aukee Sentinel : 
"The Sentinel's Neenah special says: Mr. Albert Hnxley, of 
the town of Clayton, Winnebago Connty, a respected farmer 
ag'ed seventy-eight years, was shot this morning by his son-in- 
law, Torris Emmons, who li\ed with him. Emmons then shot 
himself, both dying within an honr. It is nnderstood the fatal 
act was the result of family and business difficulties. The 
parties lived together for three years, and their relations have 
been pleasant up to a year ago. Mr. Huxley leaves a wife and 
three married daughters. Emmons leaves a wife and two 
children. Both parties were well known and respected, and the 
double tragedy causes intense excitement." 
The children were, 

120. John Milton [197] born Sept. 2, 1S27. 

121. Frances E.. born January 20, 1831 ; married Torris Emmons; had 

2 children.

125. AsAHEL Mack^ [95] (AsaheP, Jared^, JarecP, 
Jared^, Thomas') born September 17, 1805, at New Marl- 
borough, Mass., died January 5, 1864, at Alexandria, Va. He 
married Mary L. Minor June 14, 1837, at Woodbury, Conn. 
She was a daughter of A^latthew Minor. Asahel Mack was a 
physician and surgeon with an extensive practice at Goshen, 
Conn., where he lived. 

In the History of Woodbury, Conn., at page 368, it is 
said "Asahel M. Huxley, M. D., came to Woodbury about the 
year 1834 and settled in the ])ractice of his profession. He 
was married to Mary L. Alinor here, daughter of the late Mat- 
thew Minor, Jr., Esq., July 14, 1837. After some years spent 
in practice in this town, there being a vacancy in Goshen, 
Conn., he removed there, where he has since had an extensive 
practice." 

In the History of Goshen, Conn.., at page 340, it is said, 
"Dr. Asahel Mack Huxley practiced in the town for many 
years, and there never was a physician more generally honored, 
never one more confided in, never one who took a greater in-

than lie." 

His name will be found among the soldiers of the ci\il 
war and the occasion of his death is described in the same his- 
tory at page 84. which is, that "He had been attending his sick 
son Matthew H., at Alexandria, Va. He died of heart disease 
while sitting at the dinner table. He was lun-ied at Goshen, 
Conn., on January 14, 1864." The chiklren were,

145. Socrates Loveland'' [97] (Jared^, Dan^, Jared-', 
Jared"", Thomas') born June 20, 1809, at New Marlborough, 
Berkshire County, Mass., died at Ellsworth, Ohio, August 5, 
1868. His genuine autograph in 1837 appeared thus: 
Married Paulina 

Spaulding, October 9, // ^-~T^ ^ 
1834, at Y.\U^soxi\\,Q/^Cy^H2/C^ C< ^ 
Ohio. She was the eld- '^^ 

est daughter of Philo Spaulding and Amanda (Bingham) 
Spaulding and was born March 30, 18 10, at Norfolk, Litchfield 
County, Conn., and died at Youngstown, Mahoning County, 
Ohio, September 2, 1890. Her maternal grandfather, Ozias 
Bingham, and lier paternal grandfather, Isaac Spaulding, both 
had Revolutionary War Service records, which see in Military 
Services of Huxleys and their maternal ancestors. But in 
addition to this her great grandfather, Jacob Spaulding, of 
Norfolk, Conn., born December 17, 1732, was a farmer of 
considerable property, which he freely devoted to the Revolu- 
tionary cause and at the first alarm he enlisted as a Private in 
Cajit. Andrew Backus' company and marched "from the town 
of Plainfield for the relief of Boston in the Lexington alarm 
April, 1775." He was also by the Colonial Assembly of Con- 
necticut from 1772 to 1775 appointed as Ensign of the North 
company of Norfolk, and he was most commonly called Ensign

Spanieling. He served in the French and Indian war with the 
rank of second lientenant Iw the appointment of the Assembly, 
in the 4th Reg-iment. of whicli Eleazor Fitch was Colonel and 
Israel Putnam was Lieutenant Colonel, from 1757 to 1762, and 
was present at tlie taking of Quebec by General Wolfe. In the 
Revolutionary War in addition to his own services, and his two 
sons Isaac and Daniel, who were in the ser\ice he hired a man 
and ])ut him in the service and paid him $(S.oo per month all 
through the war and took care of his wife and two children. 
At one time he collected 120 head of cattle for beef and took 
them to the army as a donation. 5 of these were his own con- 
tribution. His house was a retreat for sick and wounded sold- 
iers : thirty were sent to him at one time to be kept for the win- 
ter, and in the spring twenty-eight returned to the army for 
service. 

The Spalding family was of pure English extraction: 
the first ancestor probably came from the town of Spalding in 
Lincolnshire, England : at all events he was "Edward Spolden" 
who settled at Rraintree. Alass.. in 1630. and in 1634 was made 
a freeman. Of this sturdy immigrant settler the 15.300 Spald- 
ings since that time to the present in the United States are the 
direct descendants. The}- are inhal)itants of every state in the 
union, and man)- of them ha\-e attained eminent distinction, in 
military, ])ohtical. religious, literary, and commercial life. 
Many ])ublic officers, lawyers, judges, ministers and bishops 
bear the name throughoui the United States. The genealogy 
of the "Spaulding" family shows that more than i.ooo Spaul- 
dings were in ser\-ice during the ci\il war of 1861-65, filling 
every rank known to the service from Brigadier General down 
to private. 

Huxley was a farmer by occupation and owned 100 acres, 
being a part originally bought by his father from Thomas 
Huntington. He was an industrious and prosperous farmer, 
and kept his farm in good order, and his buildings were sub- 
stantial and ade(|uate for the farm. He was a firm believer in 
the anti-slaverv sentiment that grew up and was rife in his day, 
and it was said his house was a station on the "Underground 
Railway." How-ever this may have been, the compiler does not 
now remember of seeing colored passengers either arriving at

or leaving his house who were on their way through; but it 
was certain that he acted pohtically from about 1840, with 
those looking to the immediate abohtion of slavery in the 
United States, until it was finally accomplished and after that 
he was a Republican in politics but never held any office. Dur- 
ing anti-slavery times from 1840 to 1861 all of the anti- 
slavery literature of the day, such as "The Anti-Slavery Stan- 
dard," "The Anti-Slavery Bugle," "The Homestead Journal," 
"Helper's Impending Crisis," "Life of Frederick Douglass," 
Wm. Lloyd Garrison's "Liberator," "Uncle Tom's Cabin," 
etc., wi4:h the speeches and writings therein contained of 
Stephen S. Foster, Parker Pillsbury, James Monroe, Wendell 
Phillips, John A. Collins, Abbey Kelly, Hon. Gerret Smith, 
Isaac Knapp and many others — mighty war horses of the anti- 
slavery movement — were found in his house and were read 
by his growing sons from their earliest youth up, and doubt- 
less had a large influence in forming and settling their future

among similar sketches of members of the bar at pages 224 and 
2S0. "Jared Huxley, second son of Socrates L. and Paulina 
(Spaulding) Huxley, was born at Ellsworth, Ohio, July 23, 
1840. He grew lip on his father's farm of 100 acres and from 
youth was familiar witli all kinds of farm work. Indeed, dur- 
mg the years in which he was 15 and 16 years old, owing to 
the illness of his father, and his inability to give any attention 
to the business of the farm, Jared, with the aid of his younger 
brother, Philo [228J, took entire charge of the farm busmess, 
anri they did all of the work on it in the same manner and to 
the same extent as it had before been done; raised the custom- 
ary crops, did the harxesting and cared for and fed the live 
stock, and e\-en found some time to assist the neighbors for 
wages. Nor did they fail to attend the ])ublic school during the 
winter term. 

"After the usual attendance at the pul)lic schools he at- 
tended a few terms at Cottage Hill Academy at Ellsworth, 
Ohio, and in the winter of 1860-1 he began teaching in the 
public schools, which occupation he continued at intervals both 
in Ohio and Indiana till his admission to the bar. After his 
academic studies began he earned all of the means used by him 
in securing an education and was free from debt when admitted 
to the bar. In 1864 he graduated from a Commercial College 
at Cleveland. Ohio, and in 1867, fi'om the Scientific course at 
Oberlin College. During the Civil War he was a clerk for 
about two years in the Quartermaster's Department, first at 
Nashville. Tenn., under S. B. Brown, Captain and A. O. M., 
in charge of transportation, and secondly, with John A. Stew- 
art, Captain and A. Q. M., disbursing quartermaster at Mobile, 
Alabama. For four years prior to his admission to the bar he 
was Professor of Mathematics and Lecturer on the Practice 
and Theory of Accounts two years at the Star City Business 
College. Lafay-ette. Ind., and two years at Felton and Bigelow's 
Business College at Cleveland. Ohio. During these four years 
he found sufficient time to pursue his law studies and qualify 
himself for admission to the bar. While teaching in the public 
schools in Martinsville. Indiana, he studied law in the office of 
McNutt & Grubbs and was admitted in Morgan County, Ind., 
but did not bci'in practice there. In Cleveland he studied in the

office of Palmer c^ DeW'olf. and \v;is admitted to the l)ar of 
Ofiio. at Norwalk. 1 lumn C'ciuiity. Ohio, on A])ril 3. 1871. He

and on remo\al of the county seat to N'oungstown in August, 
1876, he removed there and is still engaged m the general prac- 
tice of his profession." 

He has always been a Repuhlican in politics, and for some 
years after settling in Youngstown was (|uite active politically, 
frequently joining in the campaign discussion of the political 
issues of the day, hut never held any elective office. After the 
oreranization of the Circuit Court in Ohio in 1884. he was a 
member of the Circuit Court Judicial Committee for the 7th
